    IMO it's hard to establish any sort of real provenance on rifles shipped to the Philippines prior to WWII. I have a '03 that I can say that the stock was there, but as for the rest of the rifle,...

    It's had to say. I know that mine has what looks like a Finnish "SA" stamp on the frame, but no one has really said if any went to Finland. Yes the grips are a very light colored wood and painted...

    US M17

    I recently picked up one of the US M17's that Sig was selling. Since I collect US military firearms, I felt it was incumbent on me to acquire one while they were available. Here are some detailed...

    One more recent pick up-Colt M1917

    I just got this one before Christmas. I have been looking for a Colt M1917 for a little while now, but either they were terribly over priced or refinished or both. I got this from a friend of mine...

    Norwegian M1914

    Here is another pistol that has eluded me for years. Either they were priced higher than I was willing to pay or one would turn up when I was broke. The stars finally aligned for me a few weeks ago...

    A couple of Lugers.

    After a bit of a drought in finding a Luger at a price I thought was at least semi reasonable, in recent months I have been able to acquire not one, but two Lugers.

    The first one I picked up was...

    1898 Krag Carbine

    I thought I would post a pic or two of this Krag carbine I picked up a few months ago. Now let me be the very first to say that I am extremely suspicious of any Krag carbine and especially a 1898....

    1917 Colt 1911

    I thought the board might be interested in seeing this 1911 that I recently picked up at an estate sale. Records show that it was part of a shipment of 1000 guns to the Philippines on 18 April, 1917....

    Thanks for the kind words butlersrangers. Like I said, I know just enough about Krag carbines to be dangerous to my wallet. When I first saw this one, I knew that the barrel was cut down from a rifle...

    Krag "carbine"

    I recently bought a Krag at a yard sale. I normally only try to buy guns that are in original condition and haven't been messed with, but this little carbine called to me. What I liked about it is...

    Correct.

    I was a bit nervous when I first went to tap my gas block. The trick is to buy a new American made tap that has at least three (four is better) flutes. Use real tapping fluid and go...

    The port mod is very simple and took me all of about 30 minutes. The stock gas port can be accessed right through the gas block. It is exactly the right size to tap with a 8-32 tap. I bought a new...

    A PSL54c isn't going to be a tack driver. That being said, there are a few things that you can do to improve how they shoot. I reduced the gas port size to .063" to reduce the recoil and battering on...

    The sight that was on it was a little loose. I took it off so I wouldn't loose it and I forgot to put it back on for the pics. I have since repaired it and it is no longer wants to fall off.

    Looks very much like it could be for a Suomi. Here is a picture of mine with the sling that came with it. The only difference I can see is the color. Mine is grey rather than brown.
